Antifungal Essential Oils

In this
article, I’ll talk about the top essential oils that act as a natural
antifungal. And prescription antifungals today are wrecking the health of a
whole lot of people. And so I want to talk about the best essential oils to use
that are nature’s antifungal. If you believe like food is medicine, like I do
and really what life gave us, it can sometimes be more effective than these
synthetics that the pharmaceutical companies created. Do me a favor, help me
spread this message right now. Take a minute and share the best natural
antifungals that are essential oils correctly.

I’m going to touch on a few others that aren’t on this list as well. And here’s what you need to know. I know that when I was a kid growing up, my mom always brought me into the doctor anytime I had a cold, the flu, croup, bronchitis, any issue, and I still got put on an antibiotic. And when that happens, what it does is typical, it’s not only going to kill the harmful bacteria, and it’s going to kill the good bacteria in your gut.

Doctors and researchers say that 70% of your immune system is located in your stomach in your microbiome. And so what’s happening is we’re giving kids doctors are prescribing antifungal, after antibiotic, after antibiotic, which is destroying the good bacteria in the gut causing leaky gut syndrome and autoimmune disease over time. And these antifungal are potent that a lot of doctors are prescribing today versus what people used throughout history,

The best essential oils that are used in antifungal.

1. Oregano Essential Oil

Now, something unique about oregano is not only is it antibacterial, but it’s also antifungal, anti-parasitic, but it also fights off yeast as well, antiviral. So oregano is powerful at fighting off all forms of pathogens. And oregano contains a unique compound called carvacrol, and carvacrol is really what makes oregano so powerful. And the unique thing here is that it’s been shown to fight off MRSA and strep. It’s been shown to fight off antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

So this is something that’s happening a lot today as well
because we’re using all of this synthetic antifungal. It’s creating these
superbugs that are resistant to certain types of medicines that medical doctors
are prescribing today. And by the way, if you know what I’m talking about, I’d
love to hear from you right now, things like MRSA all of the superbugs. These
things are growing and thinking about how it’s going to threaten, especially
our children, our children’s in the future, these superbugs were creating, it’s
not right.

Where here is the good news, oregano has been shown in
medical studies to fight MRSA and antibiotic strains of bacteria in vitro
studies. So again, oregano is excellent.

We can start doing oregano oil on it three times a day,
and after two months, it was gone entirely. So oregano oil is effective at
treating several health conditions, its potent essential oil.

2. Cinnamon Essential Oil

Cinnamon contains a compound called cinnamaldehyde, and
cinnamon within Chinese medicine is also known to help warm the body. So
typically think about wintertime, we use cinnamon in apple cider, we can use
cinnamon with pumpkin pie around Thanksgiving. Cinnamon is used when it’s
getting colder outside, and in Chinese medicine, it’s used to warm the body. So
cinnamon is a great herb, but cinnamaldehyde is useful for so many things from
balancing blood sugar by helping support a glucose tolerance factor that’s GTF
to several things.

But one of the most significant benefits of cinnamon is
it helps in killing off dangerous microbes. So cinnamon oil has antibacterial
properties. It’s been shown to help fight infections as well; cinnamon also
it’s very warming. So especially if somebody is sick with a cold, or flu, or
has shivers and is cold and you need to warm their insides, cinnamon oil is
fantastic, it’s an excellent oil to use.

3. Thyme Essential Oil

Thyme is very high in a couple of compounds. No. one, it’s very high in thymol. In certain species of thyme also has some of what makes oregano beneficial as an antibiotic and that’s carvacrol, but again more significant amounts of thymol. And this is effective, especially when with bronchial issues, bronchial infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis.

Thyme is also unique in that it’s a pro-progesterone. It’s even been shown to help balance our hormones and strengthen the kidneys in Chinese medicine; it’s known to help strengthen the kidney Qi and overall energy. But thyme has very, very strong antimicrobial properties there as well, and is supposed to help support the circulation of the body, especially of the lungs within Chinese medicine. So if you have an infection or again, or an issue primarily related to the lungs, or sinuses, or breathing, thyme is one of the best. It’s the best time to use thyme. Do you get that? I thought that was pretty funny.

4. Tea Tree Essential Oil

Tea tree oil is also known as melaleuca, melaleuca, and tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is very high in something called terpinene, as well as cymene. So terpinenes and cymene are what you’re going to find in tea tree oil.

Now, this is a plant that typically found in Australia.
So it’s found in Australia today. And this was used by Aborigines, they would
actually take it and turn it into a paste, and when people had flesh wounds
during different war types of infections, or injuries, they use this directly
on the skin to fight infection, So again, if you have a cut, or a scrape, or a
burn, or an open wound, tea tree oil, one of the best, probably maybe the best
on this list of treating the skin directly to treat any type of injury or
infection and using it as a natural antibiotic.

This is one I don’t want to recommend internally. And I want to say this, many of these oils are used internally. You want to be careful with these oils that are potent antifungal. Typically, people that have GI issues like an inflammatory bowel issue, usually or very young children, you would not want to use these oils internally, pregnancy as well. So again, always consult with your physician before using any of these oils internally.

But if somebody has a pretty robust system and they just really get run down, or they get an active infection, anywhere between 3 to 14 days, you could take these oils internally with food. If you’re going to do cinnamon oil, two to three drops three times a day in food is how you want to take those. But again, always consult with your physician or a health care practitioner if you are going to do these internally. Tea tree oil is one you don’t want to do internally at all because of the nature of some of the compounds within tea tree oil.

Others Essential Oil

Some other powerful oils when it comes to infection, eucalyptus oil can be very, very powerful, especially for
fighting pneumonia, different types of bacteria as well.

Ginger oil, if somebody has a cold
or flu is potent at warming the body. Clove oil has many of the same benefits.
Its high in cinnamaldehyde as is cinnamon, but this is an oil that especially
has anti-parasitic benefits.

If somebody’s looking to fight a parasite, clove oil tends
to be very, very powerful as well.

Then surprisingly, lavender oil. Lavender oil has been shown to help different things, such as types of Candida or the different species of bacteria that can cause acne; it can cause that. And let me say this in terms of infections as well, or harmful bacteria, tea tree oil mixed with honey is ideal for fighting acne. So tea tree oil mixed with raw honey or Manuka honey, putting it on for two minutes, washing it off, an excellent natural acne treatment.

Final thought

Essential oils are nature’s antibiotic. If you have
essential oil, you love, or you’ve used as a natural antibiotic, I want to say
this, if somebody is chronically ill or has a severe life-threatening
infection, these are not replacements for prescription antifungal, but again, I
want to reaffirm and say that and say use these responsibly. But remember,
often too many people are just running and getting antifungal. They’re being
prescribed like candy for things like viruses, when, in fact, antifungal, synthetics
dont fight viruses versus these essential oils. Many of them have antiviral,
anti-parasitic, anti-yeast, antibacterial properties. They are very useful. And
again, what people have used for thousands of years for fighting bacteria,
harmful bacteria, or pathogenic bacteria because we know, there are some good
bacteria like probiotics that line our gut wall.
